A jiu-jitsu specialist, Jandiroba is on a four-fight winning streak, the last of which was a submission against the former title challenger. Amanda lemos. Currently third in the ranking, Virna is behind only Tatiana Suarez placeholder image e yan xiaonan, who, in the last round, had the chance to fight for the title, but was defeated by Weili. Without fighting since April, the Chinese champion is looking for a new challenge to get back into action.
